Selling Pressure On HUF Intensifies

HUNGARY
  • This morning, NBH policymaker Pleschinger said in an interview that NBH is now likely to raise rates once a quarter as inflationary pressures have been intensifying in recent month, which should balance CPI and GDP risks.
  • Surprisingly, there has been some aggressive selling pressure on HUF following that comment with USDHUF breaking above its 3-week range of 283 - 287. Next resistance to watch on the topside stands at 290, followed by 293 (50D SMA).
  • It seems that there has been a 'buy the rumor, sell the news' type of environment in the CEE market with traders starting to take profits in CEE currencies in June following strong momentum in April and May.
